Yesterday was our Stake Conference. Our stake was invited to attend at the Conference Center in Salt Lake. The girls were so excited about going inside this time for conference (during General Conference you have to be 8 years old or older to go inside). Elder Hales got up and spoke and the girls knew it was him. The last speaker was President Eyring, the girls knew him too. It was just one of those tender mercy moments. The girls know the First Presidency and 12 Apostles and how thrilling it was for them to get to see them and hear them speak. After it was over, as President Eyring is leaving, he was waving to the congregation and the girls were waving back. Then Gaby took off. She was determined to get to him and say 'bye' to him. When she realized he left, she cried so hard. She was so upset that she didn't get to say 'goodbye' to him. We had to explain to her that that was why he 
was waving because he couldn't say bye to every single person there. We took her down to the podium, where they speak from and she felt a little bit better. I have to admit, we never wanted to live in Utah but I am so grateful for these moments that our girls are learning the gospel in ways they couldn't if we didn't live here. I am so grateful for the spirit that the girls felt today and the experience that they will always remember.
